What does Corac Group plc do?
Corac is an intellectual property and engineering group which holds many patents. It focuses on high speed, direct drive compressors based on its expertise in gas bearings and high speed shafts, and motor drives for use in the extraction of gas from gas wells and for supercharging piston compressors used in factory applications. Corac Group plc has researched and developed technologies primariliy in the field of Air Bearings. This technology when coupled with a high speed electric motor leads itself to dimimitive compressors in which there is no conventional oil based lubricant. The base technologies have also been applied to to industrial ‘no-oil’ compression in the power range of 50 to 150KW and downhole gas compression for the natural gas extraction industry.
